Procedure
1. Warming up
⑴Warming up by discussing
Good morning, class. Do you like traveling? Why do you like traveling? And why don’t you like traveling? Where have you ever been before? How did you get there? If you are given a chance to travel around the world, what kind of transportations will you use and why? Now look at the following pictures and discuss it in pairs.
Name of the transportations
Means of transportation
Reasons
by car (in a car)
by bike
by plane (by air)
by train ( on a train)
by bus ( on a bus)
by ship (by water or by boat)
in a hot balloon
by motorbike (on a motorbike)
by jeep

⑵Warming up by looking and speaking
Now boys and girls, what do you need to take with you if you are preparing for a bike trip along the Changjiang River? Look at the pictures and tell the whole class which object you think is the most useful and which one is the least useful. Give a reason why you think so.
⑶Warming up by asking and answering
Now suppose you live in Qinghai. You plan to take a holiday with a friend somewhere in Southeast Asia. You have been given a chance to choose three places to visit. Please find out the one-way fare to get there for different kinds of transportation. Perhaps you may not know the exact fare, but you can guess how much the fare is. Please have a short discussion with your partners and then decide where to go.
Ok, now I’d like you to ask your partner the following questions.
1. Where are you going on holiday? 2. When are you leaving? 3. How are you going to…?
4. When are you arriving in/at…? 5. Where are you staying? 6. How long are you staying there? 7. When are you coming back?
2. Pre-reading by talking and sharing
As we all know, there are a lot of rivers in the world and also there are many great rivers. Now look at the chart. In the left column are names of some great rivers. In the right column are locations where the rivers lie. Please match them.

Period 2 A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language
(The Present Continuous Tense for future action)
Introduction
In this period students will be helped to do “Discovering useful words and expression” exercises first. Then they will be offered help with their learning of the present continuous tense for future action. To end they will be asked to write plans for travel.
Objectives
To help students learn about the Present Continuous Tense for futurity
To help students discover and use some useful words and expressions
To help students write travel plans
Procedures
1. Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions
Hello everyone. After reading the passage, we have got to know the usage of the words and expressions, but we should do more practice. Now turn to page 20 to find the correct words and expressions from the passage to finish the sentences. You are given two minutes to finish them and discuss with your partners. Two minutes later, check in pairs and then check with the whole class.
2. Reading and finding
Good, you have mastered these words and expressions. Let’s turn to page 17 and look at the questions in Warming up. Underline the verbs in the questions, and pay attention to the verb forms and do some explanations by yourselves.
3. Studying the futurity use of the preset continuous tense
We can see that the verbs are all used in the “-ing” form. They are “the present continuous tense”, but they express future actions or plans. The Present Continuous Tense may be used to denote an action that can be pre-planned or prearranged instead of the future indefinite in colloquial English. But please note that, not all verbs can be used in the “-ing” form to express future actions. Such verbs as come, go, leave, fly, walk, ride, drive, stay, meet, die, see, have, arrive etc. are mainly used in the “-ing” form to express future actions.
4. Going over the read ready used materials
About the present continuous tense for future actions or plans
be + v.-ing与表示将来的时间连用，表示不久的将来，含义是“预定要做”。（这种结构中常用动作动词或去向动词：go, come, leave, start, arrive, travel, fly等，不适用于状态动词）

Period 3 A sample lesson plan for Using Language
(JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG )
Introduction
You are advised to lead in by talking about Tibet which is a wonder for a travel trip. Then help students with their reading of Journey down the Mekong. Translation of the text into Chinese is proposed.
Objectives
To help students make use of what they learned in this unit in communication
To help students use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing
Procedures
1. Warming up by talking about Tibet
Have you ever been to Tibet? Do you want to travel in Tibet? Can you tell me something about Tibet?
Tibet lies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the southwest border of China. The average height of the whole region is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, for which Tibet is known as “Roof of the World”. The highest peak of Tibet, also the highest in Himalayas and in the whole world, is Everest Peak, which is as high as 8,846.27 meters above sea level.
Although a part of China, Tibet has a unique culture of all its own. It is mainly inhabited by Tibetans, a minority nationality of old and mysterious people. Tourist attractions include the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and a number of Buddhist sacred places.
Tibet (Xi Zang in Chinese) is to the south of Xin Jiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing Hai Province, to the west of Sichuan, to the northwest of Yunnan and to the north of India and Nepal. Its population of 2.3 million people come from a variety of ethnic groups including Tibetan, Han, Monba and Lhota. Its capital city is Lhasa.
Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing Hai plateau, is home to a variety of unusual and unique animals. Across the northern expanse of Tibet, you can see vast grasslands where horses, yak and sheep roam freely. The world's lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun-tzanpo River Valley lies in east Tibet.
It is freezing cold in most time of the year. Most tourists come to visit Tibet only in the warmest seasons, June, July, August and early September.
2. Reading and underlining
Now let’s go on with JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG with Wang Wei and Wang Kun. They are in Tibet now. Please turn to Page 22. Read the passage quickly and underline all the useful expressions and collocations in it. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.
Collocations from JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG (II)
ride bicycles, climb the mountain，be great fun, reach a valley, stop to do sth., make camp, put up, after supper, go to sleep, stay awake, at midnight, become clear, so …that, the sound of the fire, travel so far, join sb., hardly wait to see, change one’s attitude.
The Mekong River
1. It begins at a glacier on a Tibetan mountain which is at an altitude of more than 5000 meters.
2. It is small and the water is clean and cold at first. Then it moves quickly and passes through deep valley.
3. Half of it is in China and it is called Lancang River in China.
4. As it enters Southeast Asia , it travels slowly through hills and low valleys, and the plains where rice grow.
3. Reading and translating
Next you are going to read the text JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG and translate it into Chinese.
4. Speaking English
Read the passage again and find the answers to the questions:
How does Wang Kun feel about the trip? (He is starting to like the trip.)
What do you think has changed his attitude? (seeing the beautiful land)
Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely? (Yes. Because the scene Wang Kun saw is beautiful. The sky was clear and the stars were bright. Also their cousins are waiting for him.)
Would you feel the same way in this situation? Why or why not? (You may have different opinions about this. Just speak it out and let us share your idea, will you?)
Imagine that the dialogue happens the next morning before Wang Kun and Wang Wei leave their camp. Write a short dialogue between them with your partner.
Wei: You look so tired Kun: Yes, I stayed up late last night.
Wei: Really? What did you do? Kun: I watched the clear sky and the bright stars.
Wei: That’s nice. They must be pretty. Kun: Yes, they were.
5. Listening
Let’s turn to page 23 and do the listening text. Before listening to the tape, please read the words fast, and then tick the words you hear on the tape. After that I’ll play the tape for the second time and then finish the chart. You should look through the chart and find out the listening points. The following questions can help you understand the listening text.
Where is the girl from? What do people in Laos use the river for? Why do people in Laos call the river “the sea of Laos”? What is the river called in Tibet and Vietnam? What other beautiful sights along the Mekong River in Laos?
6. Guided writing—Writing a short email
Now let’s do a writing practice. Imagine that you are a friend of Wang Wei. Write a short email to her and ask her to describe: how she feels, what she is doing, and some place you want to know about. Then wish her well on her journey by using at least two of these expressions:
Have a nice/good time. Have a nice/good trip. Take care.
Good luck on your journey. Say “Hello” to …. Write to me.
Give my best/love wishes to …. Have fun.
You can refer to the following steps.
In pairs choose the details from the journey that are most interesting. Think of what else you would like to know about the journey. Write these ideas down as questions.
Now choose two or three of the best questions for your letter. Each question should have another sentence explaining why you want to know this information.
Put them in an order that makes sense.
Begin your letter as shown in the textbook and add your questions for Wang Wei. Your writing should not be more than one paragraph.
Finish your letter as shown in the textbook.
A sample piece of writing
Hi, brave little Wei,
How I worry about you and Wang Kun! Do you have a good time now? I hope so. What are you doing now? Are you still in Laos? Can you tell me something about people’s life there? When are you leaving for Cambodia? When you get there, tell me about the Buddhist temples there. Please send some photos with your next letter! Well, Have a good trip and don’t forget to write to me! Give my best wishes to Wang Kun. Good luck on your journey.
Take care!
Yours,
Wang Lin
7. Closing down by writing a letter
Suppose you want to travel to Yunnan Province, write a letter to one of your friends in Yunnan and ask him/her what preparations you should make and which places are worth visiting.

A selected English passage for recitation英文精选背诵短文
Why do people travel?
Well, first of all, I think there are a number of reasons why we travel. The main reason is curiosity. We're curious how other people live, what food they eat. What is the taste of that food? How do other people entertain? How do they make friends? Our nature isn't permanent, and our tastes changes during life cycles. We want to try something new from time to time (new food, new clothes, shoes, perfume and etc.) Our travel can involve new friends and it gives a spark to our routine life. We dream about a trip around the globe as a panacea from our problems. But when we can't afford traveling even inside our own countries it becomes a psychological problem for our mind and body. I wish that all people could travel at least locally, within a region or a state. Traveling gives us a feeling of belonging to this world and our role in the global living!

Unit 3 Travel journal
第一部分
About the topic and the structures
单元话题和结构
本单元的话题是“Travel Journal/ 旅行日志”。通过本单元的学习让学生思考什么是？为什么旅游？旅游，我们走遍五湖四海去找大地的爱；旅游，找那心的根，找那心的源，找出生命所在。本单元中学生还将学习使用“现在进行时表未来”。
单元课时划分上与课本保持一致，即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。但在实际教学过程中，我们建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排等因素，对课本、对教学设计重新划分课时，裁剪、拼接使用教案提供的材料，以便“物尽所用”，达到最佳教学效果。教师也可以参照教案提出的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。
Period 1
Reading
阅读课
Warming Up “热身”的目的是为阅读在一定程度上作好话题、词汇和结构的准备，激发学生相关的背景知识和学习兴趣。对此教案提供了“讨论”、“看图说话”和“问答”三种不同的“热身”设计供教师选用。实际操作中还需要教师动用诸如板书、投影等辅助手段，以达到最佳教学效果。
Pre-reading要求学生发表自己对人们如何利用江河的主观看法，为阅读短文做心理的铺垫和知识的准备。中国的河流有5万多条(流域大于100平方公里)，最重要的河流有7条，即松花江、辽河、海河、黄河、淮河、长江和珠江。另外，我国还有黑龙江、雅鲁藏布江、澜沧江、怒江、红河、伊犁河、额尔齐斯河等出境河流和边界河流，一般水量较丰。Reading是篇记叙文，记叙了Wang Kun和他的伙伴策划一次沿江骑自行车旅行的事情。骑车出游的乐趣并不是自驾车可以代替的，相约三五知己，结伴同游，一路上可以随意停留，或在林中小憩，或于古迹驻足，轻松悠闲，不亦乐乎。本文虽然是记叙文，但是语言难度较大，教师可以按照教案提供的阅读教学模式引导学生从形式和内容两方面阅读文章、理解文章、提高对旅行对认识，对祖国大好河山的认识。
Period 2
Learning about language
知识课
Learning about language 首先要求学生利用录音机朗读课文，强化学生对本单元重点词汇、短语、结构和话题的掌握；然后要求学生完成课本第20、21页提供的“词法”“句法”练习。接下来系统学习和总结“直接引语和间接引语”。
Period 3
Using language
运用课
Using language 以谈论拉萨导入本课后，重点是帮助学生阅读“顺湄公河而下”。 湄公河源头在我国青海唐古拉山，全长4880公里，在我国内河道里程长2161公里，从勐腊县南腊河口244号界桩处出境后，澜沧江始称湄公河，流经缅甸、老挝、泰国、柬埔寨、越南5个国家，最后在越南胡志明市附近注入太平洋。其后提供的听、说、写活动也是围绕湄公河展开的。
实际教学过程课时划分建议
Period 1
将Warming Up、 Pre-reading、Reading和Comprehending整合在一起上一节“阅读课”。
Period 2
将Learning about language 和Workbook中的 USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS、USING STRUCTURES 整合在一起上一节“语言知识课”。
Period 3
将Using language 设计为一节包括听说读写单项技能或组合技能训练的“综合技能课（一）”。
Period 4
将Workbook 的READING AND LISTENING和TALKING整合在一起上一节“听说课”。
Period 5
将Workbook 的LISTENING TASK、READING AND WRITING TASK和 SPEAKING TASK整合为一节“综合技能课（二）”。

Unit 3 Travel journal 知识探讨1
1．1 头脑风暴
With the development of society, we are changing our way of life. More and more people like to travel.
1．Do you often travel? Where have you been?
Various answers are possible. Such as to the Great Wall, to Mount Huang, etc.
2．Do you like to explore some wild places? Which places do you want to go to?
Various answers are possible. To take a foot trip across the whole country. To explore the sources of some rivers.
3．What can you do to make preparations for your exploratory travel?
Before the exploratory travel, you should get many objects ready for you to carry. You should carry a tent for you to live in when it is at night. You should carry matches. You can use matches to make fire to cook food and frighten wild animals. You should carry a radio to listen to weather reports. You can carry a compass. When you get lost, you can use the compass to know the direction. And you can carry a map, a raincoat and so on if you think they are necessary.
1．2 语篇探究
1．Do you think Wang Kun and Wang Wei really took the great bike trip down the Mekong River? Why do you think so?
①I think so. According to the Journal we know they made preparations for the travel and we also know the details about some places they reached.
②I don't think so. If they take the great bike trip down the Mekong River, the road was too rough and too difficult for them to walk on. Another reason is that if they want to cycle along the Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends, they should enter several countries. If they have no necessary certificates, they can't get into other countries except China easily.
2．How long do you think it took them to cycle along the Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends?
No determined answer. Perhaps two months, half a year or a whole year or perhaps even longer. I think they should spend much time, because the journey is too long and too difficult. Let the students discuss the question, give their ideas and their reasons.
3．Do you think they can get much knowledge after the great bike trip? What kinds of knowledge can they get?
I think they can get much knowledge. They can know more about nature, about customs of some peoples. They can also know more about geography. And they should know how to live a hard life, etc.
1．3 阅读讨论
Reading the following passage and discuss the questions below and try to give their answers.
People who travel long distances will have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Maybe nobody would say they enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. The train will soon get crowded and dirty. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading may help you to kill the time but soon the clicking of the rails will bring you to sleep. During the day, sleep never lasts long. At night, when we really wish to go to sleep, you find you can hardly manage to do so. If you are lucky to get a sleeping seat, you spend half the night looking at the small blue light over your head, and when you finally arrived at the station, you are so tired that you don't want to leave.
Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is impossible even to read. On motor-ways, you can at least travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often, the greater part of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy（不平的）roads which are crowded with traffic.
When traveling by sea, you have a different experience. You can have a walk on the board, play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food, and of course, only when the sea is calm. If it is not, you are likely to get seasick, and you will find no journey can be worse than that. Even if you travel in good weather, sea journeys take a long time. Few people would like to spend a third of their holidays for the pleasure of traveling on a ship.
Traveling by plane seems to be dangerous to some people, and, it is also the most expensive of all traveling forms, though nothing can match planes for speed and comfort（舒适）. Flying at a height of 30000 feet, far above the clouds, and at 500 miles an hour is a very exciting experience. The journey is so smooth（平稳的）that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However, you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination（目的地）fresh and easy. You will not have to spend the next :few hours recovering（恢复）from a long and tiring journey.
1．What other means of traveling can find except the ones referred in the passage?
We can also travel by bike, by motorcycle, on horseback, and of course we can also travel by hiking. Maybe in the future we can travel to outer space by spaceship.
2．What kind of traveling do you think is the most comfortable? Why?
a. I think traveling by train is the most comfortable because if you get a good seat, you can get very good service in the train.
b. I think traveling by plane is the most comfortable because it is very smooth and you can read or sleep in the plane.
c. I think traveling by car is the most comfortable because you have freedom to have a rest or stop anywhere.
3．What should we prepare before traveling?
It is up to the students to finish the question after discussion.

设计意图
Step 1：
情景导入
Task 1：谈论个人旅游经历。
课前让学生欣赏歌曲“ Moon River”（一边播放音乐一边展示歌词）
教师提问学生是否喜欢旅游，曾经去过哪里旅游，从而引出本课的主题。
Questions:
Do you like traveling?
Where have you been?
Can you tell your partner something about it?
课前播放音乐可让学生在轻松的状态下进入本单元主题的学习，同时利用歌曲训练学生的听力能力。大部分学生都喜欢旅游，老师询问学生是否喜欢旅游，谈谈自己旅游的经历，从自身的感受出发，能有效地调动学生的学习积极性。让几个学生先介绍自己旅游的情况后让其他学生提问，能够活跃课堂气氛，也能为学生创设说英语的情境，训练学生的口语。
Step 2:
读前
Task 2: 介绍常识，为下面阅读做铺垫。
教师展示一些河流的图片，学生猜测河流的名字，从而引出湄公河。展示湄公河沿途的一些美丽的风景，引起学生的兴趣，同时展示一些相关的生词，然后让学生观察P.18地图，说出湄公河流经的国家。

设计意图
Step 4：
仔细阅读
Task 4：细读课文，查找信息。
仔细阅读课文，完成PPT中所列表格。（见附表2）
Task 5: 深层理解课文
Discussing
1. What do you think of Wang Wei?
2. What can you learn from her?
After discussing, Teacher give some proverbs :
Success belongs to the persevering.
胜利属于有毅力者。
No success in life merely happens.
人生中没有什么成功是纯粹偶然得来的。
1.细读课文，查找详细信息，利用图片提示，通过填词的方式能帮助学生更好地理解课文，为之后的归纳总结与复述打下基础。
2. 学生小组讨论问题，能够有效地培养学生自我学习和合作探究的能力，培养良好的学习习惯。学生讲出自己的讨论结果，老师点评并小结归纳。给出一些名言格言能更好的鼓励学生探究学习。
Step 5：
语言输出
1．学生根据以下关键词和短语，用自己的话复述课文。
Wang Kun and his sister----middle school---
after graduating----got the chance to----
thought of the idea----cycle----the Mekong River----
bought bicycles----got sb. interested in----
journey----begin----at an altitude of----
change one’s mind---- atlas----in the library
2．教师请学生复述，第一次可以两到三人共同复述一次，每人负责一部分或几句话，第二次一个人复述整篇课文。
在经过阅读之后进行语言输出能够很好地帮助学生回忆课文内容。老师给出关键词，降低难度，为学生提供比较规范的模式，更好地让学生学习复述的技巧。教师让学生复述时，两次提出不同的要求，难度逐渐增大，体现了教学的梯度性，可让不同层次学生都有表现的机会，感受成功的喜悦。
Step 6：
作业
阅读课文，找出重点词汇和短语以及文章中的难句。
完成SB P20 Exx. 1-3。
用自己的话复述课文。
小组课堂评价表（课后完成）非测试性评价：小组互评，了解学生的学习情感、策略，由组长负责，组织小组反思，填写下表（见附表3,以5分制计），并存入学习档案。
1.布置学生找出重点词汇和短语以及文章中的难句, 为下一节课语言点的学习做好准备。课本P.20的练习能帮助学生更好地掌握文章中的语言点，是本节课的延伸和延续.
2.新课程标准认为评价体系应该“正确反映外语学习的本质和过程，满足学生发展的需要。”

Have you ever been to Tibet? Do you want to travel in Tibet? Can you tell me something about Tibet? Tibet lies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the southwest border of China. The average height of the whole region is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, for which Tibet is known as “Roof of the World”. The highest peak of Tibet, also the highest in Himalayas and in the whole world, is Everest Peak, which is as high as 8,846.27 meters above sea level. Although a part of China, Tibet has a unique culture of all its own. It is mainly inhabited by Tibetans, a minority nationality of old and mysterious people. Tourist attractions include the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and a number of Buddhist sacred places. Tibet (Xi Zang in Chinese) is to the south of Xin Jiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing Hai Province, to the west of Sichuan, to the northwest of Yunnan and to the north of India and Nepal. Its population of 2.3 million people come from a variety of ethnic groups including Tibetan, Han, Monba and Lhota. Its capital city is Lhasa. Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing Hai plateau, is home to a variety of unusual and unique animals. Across the northern expanse of Tibet, you can see vast grasslands where horses, yak and sheep roam freely. The world's lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun-tzanpo River Valley lies in east Tibet. It is freezing cold in most time of the year. Most tourists come to visit Tibet only in the warmest seasons, June, July, August and early September.
Step 2 Reading
We know Wang Wei and Wang Kun have traveled down the Mekong. Today they have reached the Tibetan Mountains. They will stay there for a night. Now let’s look at the passage “A night in the mountains” on page 22. Read it quickly to find the main idea. Show some questions.
1.How does Wang Kun feel about the trip now?
2.What do you think has changed his attitude?
3.Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely?
4.Would you feel the same way in this situation? Why or Why not?
Step 3 Listen and mark
Let the students listen to the recorder and mark the rising and falling tone of each sense group and sentence. Then practice reading aloud. Pay attention to pronunciation and intonation.
Step 4 Dialogue
Suppose Wang Wei and Wang Kun leave their camp the next morning and go on with the journey. Make a short dialogue between them.
Sample dialogue :
--Oh , up so early?
--Early? It’s nearly 9 o’clock.
--Oops! (Look at his watch). I guess you’re right.
--Why were you so tired?
--Well, I stayed up late last night to watch the stars.
--That’s nice. They must be pretty.
--Yes, they are.
Then ask students to make up their own dialogues. They may discuss and practice in pairs.
Step 5 Guided writing
1.reading
In this unit, we have read the first two parts of a travel journal and have listened to the third part of the travel journal. What is the difference between a journal and a diary? Let’s read the passage on page 23 and find out the difference between the two.
A diary
A travel journal
2 Writing a letter Now let’s do a writing practice. Imagine that you are a friend of Wang Wei. Write a short letter to her and ask her to describe: how she feels, what she is doing, and some place you want to know about. Then wish her well on her journey by using at least two of these expressions: Have a nice/good time. Have a nice/good trip. Take care. Good luck on your journey. Say “Hello” to …. Write to me. Give my best/love wishes to …. Have fun. Tell the students that they can refer to the following steps. In pairs. Choose the details from the journey that are most interesting. Think of what else you would like to know about the journey. Write these ideas down as questions. Now choose two or three of the best questions for your letter. Each question should have another sentence explaining why you want to know this information. Put them in an order that makes sense. Begin your letter as shown in the textbook and add your questions for Wang Wei.
Finish your letter as shown in the textbook. A sample writing: Hi, brave little Wei, How I worry about you and Wang Kun! Do you have a good time now? I hope so. What are you doing now? Are you still in Laos? Can you tell me something about people’s life there? When are you leaving for Cambodia? When you get there, tell me about the Buddhist temples there. Please send some photos with your next letter! Well, Have a good trip and don’t forget to write to me! Give my best wishes to Wang Kun. Good luck on your journey. Take care! Yours, Wang Lin Step 6 Homework

When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body was numb (麻木的). She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours.
Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from the Catalina Island to the California Coast.
On the morning of July 4th, 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so thick that she could hardly see her support boats. The wind was very strong and it was raining heavily. Against the cold water of the sea, she struggled on — hour after hour. Millions of people were watching her in front of the television.
In one of the boats, her mother and her trainer tried their best to encourage her. They told her it wasn’t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to give up. She never had ...until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.
After thawing her cold body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.
Two months later, she tried again. This time, despite the same thick fog, she swam with all her strength and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind the fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel!
46. The reason why Chadwick didn’t succeed for the first time was that ____.
A. the sea water was very cold

47. What can we know about Florence Chadwick?
A. She was 34 years old when she swam the Catalina Channel.
B. She was a woman who never gave up when facing difficulties.
C. She had few supporters except her mother and her trainer.
D. She was the first person who swam the Catalina Channel.
48. The underlined word “thawing” in Paragraph 5 has the same meaning as ____.

C. both Chadwick’s mother and her trainer asked her to stop swimming because of her illness

Some people say chili peppers (辣椒) can help you breathe better if you have a cold. Others believe that chilies give you more energy. We cannot tell whether these ideas are true or false. But we can tell you that people have been growing chilies for centuries, and there are many kinds — about two hundred kinds of chili peppers.
Chilies need a warm climate to grow better. If you plant the seeds outside when the weather is cold, place the seeds in a glass. That will add more warmth from the sun so as to make the temperature inside higher than outside.
If you plant inside, fill a pot with soil. The pot should have holes in the bottom so water can run out. Drop several seeds over the surface of the pot and cover them with some soil. Then cover the top of the pot with a piece of plastic. Place the pot in a warm area.
When the chilies start growing, take off the plastic. When the plants have reached about two centimeters high, place each one carefully in its own pot.
When the roots show through the holes in the bottom of the pot, put each young plant into a bigger pot which is about twelve centimeters high. When the plants are twenty centimeters high, tie the plants to a stick placed in the pot to support them.
When the chili peppers are thirty centimeters high, get rid of the tops. That will make new branches grow. When the first flowers show, give the plants some potash fertilizer (钾肥). When the weather is warm, put them outside. Make sure that they get plenty of light and water. But too much water will do harm to the roots and reduce the production of chilies. Sometimes too much water even kills the chili plants. Check the surface of the soil in the pot and keep the soil wet!
Some people like to harvest chilies when they are green. Others like to harvest them when they are red. Both give color, taste and different amounts of heat to salads, soups, dishes and other foods.
51. In the cool weather, the glass which the chili seeds are placed in can ____.
A. increase the temperature inside
B. make the air inside cleaner
C. stop the sun drying up the seeds
D. stop wind blowing away the seeds
52. The holes in the bottom of the pot are to ____.
A. let more air come into the soil
B. let extra water run out of the pot
C. let more water come in
D. let extra heat come out
53. We should give a chili plant a stick to support it when it is about ____.
A. two centimeters high
B. twelve centimeters high
C. twenty centimeters high
D. thirty centimeters high
54. What should be done last when we plant chilies inside?
A. Getting rid of the tops of the chili plants.
B. Covering the top of the pot with plastic.
C. Dropping chili seeds onto the soil in the pot.
D. Giving potash fertilizer to the chili plants.
55. According to the passage, how many pots are needed during the growth of a chili plant which is planted inside?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

Hi, I am Liang Liang, and I’d like to introduce something about my travel in my summer holiday to you. Here is something about Kenting Tropical Forest (热带森林) Park which I visited. The forest park is in the southern part of Taiwan and you will find Kenting Tropical Forest Park just above where three great waters meet. Many thousands of years ago the island was deep beneath the sea. Millions of coral polyps (珊瑚虫) and the wave motion (波动) of the water shaped the solid rocks into beautiful sculptures (雕塑). Today the island is covered by more than a thousand different varieties of tropical plants and trees. Also, there are many birds and butterflies. The park there is a natural cavern called Fairy Cave. Near the highest point of the park is a five-story tower for taking pictures. On a clear day it is possible to see Orchid Island from the tower. I really enjoy my experience of being there. And now I also share my happiness with you all. Thank you！

Tourism
Nowadays, tourism has become a new industry in our country, which is of great benefit to economic development and cultural exchange.
Tourism speeds the development of the national economy as well as the development of the service industry and it provides people with more job opportunities too. Besides, the arrival of tourists may push the local government to improve transportation and can increase sales of goods, from which the local people benefit a lot. What’s more, the parks, zoos and other places of interest will be gradually developed to attract more and more tourists and tourism becomes a tool for cultural exchange. With people from different areas and countries travelling around the world, different cultures will spread all over the world.

The Most Exciting Trip in My Summer Holiday
Liang Liang shared his experience of going to visit Kenting Tropical Forest Park. He gave us details about it, which made us have a clear understanding of it.
I had a similar experience of visiting a beautiful place. Last week my parents and I took a two-day trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows, it’s a famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. It was about noon when we arrived at the foot of the mountain. As we were climbing the mountain, we fed monkeys, visited temples and listened to some stories told by some old people there. I was busy taking pictures all the way because the mountain was so beautiful. We spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain. The food was expensive but the service was good.
I did feel that it was the most exciting trip in my summer holiday.

When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body was numb (麻木的). She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours.
Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from the Catalina Island to the California Coast.
On the morning of July 4th, 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so thick that she could hardly see her support boats. The wind was very strong and it was raining heavily. Against the cold water of the sea, she struggled on — hour after hour. Millions of people were watching her in front of the television.
In one of the boats, her mother and her trainer tried their best to encourage her. They told her it wasn’t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to give up. She never had ... until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.
After thawing her cold body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.
Two months later, she tried again. This time, despite the same thick fog, she swam with all her strength and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind the fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel!
60. The reason why Chadwick didn’t
succeed for the first time was that ____.
A. the sea water was very cold
B. she was too tired to swim
C. she couldn’t see her goal
D. she was lost in the sea
61. What can we know about Florence
Chadwick?
A. She was 34 years old when she
swam the Catalina Channel.
B. She was a woman who never gave up when facing difficulties.
C. She had few supporters except her mother and her trainer.
D. She was the first person who swam the Catalina Channel.
62. From the passage we know that ____.
A. few people paid attention to
Chadwick when she was swimming the Catalina Channel
B. Chadwick finally realized her dream of swimming the Catalina Channel at the first try
C. both Chadwick’s mother and her trainer asked her to stop swimming because of her illness
D. Chadwick had succeeded in
swimming the English Channel before she swam the Catalina Channel
63. The author wrote this passage to tell us the truth that ____.
A. a clear goal is necessary for success
B. one should never mind others’
words
C. success can’t be achieved at the first try
D. one should not risk doing what
seems impossible
You know that the teen years can be tough. You’re thinking about what you’re good at, and what your place in the world is going to be. It’s comforting to face those challenges with peers（同龄人） who are into the same things as you are. And peers have a profoundly positive influence on each other and play important roles in each other’s lives:
Friendship. Among peers you can find friendship and acceptance, and share experiences that can build lasting relationships.
Positive examples. Peers set plenty of good examples for each other. Having peers who are doing well in school or doing their best in sports can influence you to be more goal-oriented (目标明确的), too. Peers who are kind and loyal influence you to build these qualities in yourself. Even peers you’ve never met can be role models!
Feedback (反馈) and advice. Your friends listen and give you feedback as you try out new ideas, explore belief, and discuss problems. Peers can help you make decisions, too: what courses to take; whether to get your hair cut. Peers often give each other good advice.
Socializing. Your peer group gives you chances to try out new social skills. Getting to know lots of different people — such as classmates or teammates — gives you a chance to learn how to expand your circle of friends, build relationships, and work out differences. You may have peers you agree or disagree with, peers you admire, and peers you don’t want to be like.
Encouragement. Peers encourage you to work hard to get the solo in the concert, help you study, listen and support you when you’re upset or troubled.
New experiences. Your peers might get you involved in clubs, sports, or religious groups. Your world would be far less rich without peers encouraging you to try sushi for the first time, and listen to a CD you’ve never heard before.
64. From the passage we can learn that ____.
A. peers can have a positive influence on each other
B. peers are different from each other in many ways
C. peers like traveling to every corner of the world
D. peers depend on one another too much in their lives
65. The underlined word “expand” in Para- graph 5 means ____.
A. create B. change
C. widen D. reduce
66. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Friendship can be easily built in the teen years.
B. A strange hero also can be a good example to peers.
C. Peers in trouble can turn to their friends for money.
D. Encouragement plays the most important role in sports.
67. Why can you turn to friends for help according to the passage?
A. Because they are of the same age as you.
B. Because you can get good advice from them.
C. Because no one else can lend you a hand.
D. Because your lessons are too dif- ficult for you.
Some people say chili peppers (辣椒) can help you breathe better if you have a cold. Others believe that chilies give you more energy. We cannot tell whether these ideas are true or false. But we can tell you that people have been growing chilies for centuries, and there are many kinds — about two hundred kinds of chili peppers.
Chilies need a warm climate to grow better. If you plant the seeds outside when the weather is cold, place the seeds in a glass. That will add more warmth from the sun so as to make the temperature inside higher than outside.
If you plant inside, fill a pot with soil. The pot should have holes in the bottom so water can run out. Drop several seeds over the surface of the pot and cover them with some soil. Then cover the top of the pot with a piece of plastic. Place the pot in a warm area.
When the chilies start growing, take off the plastic. When the plants have reached about two centimeters high, place each one carefully in its own pot.
When the roots show through the holes in the bottom of the pot, put each young plant into a bigger pot which is about twelve centimeters high. When the plants are twenty centimeters high, tie the plants to a stick placed in the pot to support them.
When the chili peppers are thirty centimeters high, get rid of the tops. That will make new branches grow. When the first flowers show, give the plants some potash fertilizer (钾肥). When the weather is warm, put them outside. Make sure that they get plenty of light and water.
Some people like to harvest chilies
when they are green. Others like to harvest them when they are red. Both give color, taste and different amounts of heat to salads, soups, dishes and other foods.
68. In the cool weather, the glass which the chili seeds are placed in can ____.
A. increase the temperature inside
B. make the air inside cleaner
C. stop the sun drying up the seeds
D. stop wind blowing away the seeds
69. The holes in the bottom of the pot are to ____.
A. let more air come into the soil
B. let extra water run out of the pot
C. let more water come in
D. let extra heat come out
70. We should give a chili plant a stick to support it when it is about ____.
A. two centimeters high B. twelve centimeters high
C. twenty centimeters high
D. thirty centimeters high
71. What should be done last when we plant chilies inside?
A. Getting rid of the tops of the chili plants.
B. Covering the top of the pot with plastic.
C. Dropping chili seeds onto the soil in the pot.
D. Giving potash fertilizer to the chili plants.
I consider my father a hero not only because he is brave but also because he is always ready to help others. My father is a truck driver. One evening he took me to meet my mother from work. We were waiting in the truck when my father smelled something smelly. He looked behind and saw smoke coming from a house not far from our truck. He quickly ran to the house. I saw fire when he opened the door and went inside. He came out with a woman and rushed back in for her children. He didn’t stop until all the children were out. When the firemen arrived we went back to wait for my mother.
My father didn’t mention this matter to Mom. The next day the story in the paper said that the people saved from the house fire were trying to find the man and to thank him. My father just said that they had more important things to be concerned with.
My father has a metal detector (金属探测器). He has found a lot of change, jewelry and junk (旧物). The most valuable thing he found was a gold badge (徽章) which was given to a nurse when she graduated. It had a last name and a date in the early 1950s. He did some research and knew that the owner was now in a nursing home several hundred miles away.
The next Sunday he drove to see the owner. The old woman was very happy. The badge had been lost for over 50 years. She asked my father how much he wanted for the badge and he refused any reward (酬金).
Any one of these events makes my dad a hero, but he never stops. I’ve learned from him that being a hero means doing whatever you can whenever you can. I can’t wait to see what he will do next.
72. When the firemen arrived at the house, ____.
A. the fire had already been put out
B. only the woman was saved by the author’s father

A. belonged to a woman several hundred miles away
B. had no name or date on it at all
C. was not worthy of being put away
D. had been lost for 30 years
74. We know from the passage that the author ____.

D. can’t understand his father
75. By saying “I can’t wait to see what he will do next”, the author means that ____.

Tourism
Nowadays, tourism has become a new industry in our country, which is of great benefit to economic development and cultural exchange.
For one thing, tourism speeds the development of the economy as well as the development of the service industry. At the same time, it provides people with more job opportunities too. Besides, the arrival of visitors may push the local govenment to improve transportation and can increase goods sales, from which the local people benefit a lot. What’s more, the parks, zoos and other places of interest will gradually be developed to attract more and more tourists.
On the other hand, it is also a tool for cultural exchange. With people from different areas and countries travelling around the world, different cultures will spread all over the world.
21. B。本题考查冠词。at an altitude of在海拔……的高度；experience作“经历”讲时，是可数名词，又因unforgettable是以元音音素开头的单词，所以本题选择B。
22. B。本题考查情景交际。Take care.小心。Good luck.祝你好运。Have a nice trip.旅途愉快。Congratulations祝贺你。根据第一句话“我明天要去北京参加一个数学竞赛”，可判断另一个人应说“祝你好运”。因为第一个人是去参加一项比赛，而不是去旅行，所以A、C两项答语都不合适；因为即将参加比赛，比赛结果还是未知的，说祝贺的话语也是为时过早。
23. A。本题考查形容词辨析。reliable可信赖的，可靠的；upset 不安的；stubborn顽固的，固执的；special特殊的。根据主句句意“他们都相信格林先生能做那项工作”可知，格林先生应该是最“可靠的”人。
24. D。本题考查短语动词辨析。give away赠送，分发；give out分发，发放； give in屈服；give up放弃。根据题意可知，林老师不会因任何事而“放弃”教师这一工作。
25. D。本题考查动词prefer的用法。prefer doing to doing，意为“宁愿做……而不做……”。本句意为“如今越来越多的人周末愿意出去欣赏大自然的美景，而不愿呆在家里。”
26. A。本题考查动词辨析。persuade说服，劝说；promise允诺，答应；advise建议；suggest建议，提议；依据第一句题意“你应该感谢Peter。”可知，Peter应该是说服“你的儿子停止吸烟和玩电脑游戏”， persuade sb to do sth意为“说服某人做某事”。
27. C。本题考查名词attitude的用法。attitude通常与介词to或towards连用，表示“对于……的态度、看法”。本句意为“这本书说，一个人对生活的态度会决定他将会过什么样的生活。”
28. A。本题考查现在进行时表示将来。从第二句“起床去公共汽车站接她”可知，前一句要表达的是“你的姐姐要到了”。所以本题选择A，即用现在进行时表示将来。
29. D。本题考查现在进行时表示将来。根据本句时间状语“在即将来临的国庆节期间”可知，visit这一动作是发生在将来的，所以可以用现在进行时表示。
30. B。本题考查短语辨析。as possible尽可能地……；as usual照常，跟往常一样；at present现在；at last最终。根据句意“我跟往常一样7点起床，但不幸的是，一场交通事故让我上班迟到了。”可知答案。
31. D。本题考查名词辨析。balance平衡；distance距离；space空间；pace速度，步调。本句意为“互联网是一个伟大的工具，它帮助我们跟上时代的步伐。”keep pace with跟上……的步伐。
32. A。本题考查强调句型。强调句型的基本结构为“It is / was +被强调部分+ that / who +句子的其他成分”。根据句式结构可知，本句为一个强调句，被强调的部分为“成龙”，是句子的主语，所以要用who连接。
33. B。本题考查动词insist的用法。insist在本题中作及物动词，后接两个并列的宾语从句。如果insist表示“坚持说或确信一件事实”，其后的从句中要用陈述语气；如果insist的意思是“坚决要求一定要……”，其后的从句中要用should+动词原形，should可以省略。本句意为“那个老妇人坚持说她的女儿还活着，并且应该马上被营救。”
34. C。本题考查连词。unless除非；although尽管；once一旦；until直到……为止。根据句意“一旦认识了Joyce，你就会喜欢她并且愿意和她交朋友。”可知答案。
35. B。本题考查so ... that ...句型。so reliable a friend相当于such a reliable friend；根据句意“Tom是一个如此可靠的朋友以至于我可以告诉他我的秘密和烦恼。”可知，本题选择B。

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 16 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 17 .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a 18 friendship to develop. However, there can be no disagreement on the 19 for each of us to think carefully about the 20 of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are 21 very important, but we need to be clear in our 22 about the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 23 at arm’s length? Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on the 24 ? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 25 enough and that’s all right. But at some point, 26 to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The 27 of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the 28 way to deepen friendships. But it must be developed slowly and 29 only if there are signs of interest and action in return.

Deep relationships require(要求) one “possesses” 32 , including his time and attention. 33 , friendships in return. In other words, you must give as much as you take. 34 there is a question of taking care of them.
35 you spend reasonable time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die away.

Going to a new school can feel like starting all over again. You may feel like sad or angry about leaving your old school or friend. You may feel excited about a new beginning or a “fresh start”. You may feel nervous about having to meet new people. All of these feelings are normal when you start at a new school.
Most kids worry about fitting in at their new school. It’s common for a new kid to feel like an outsider for the first few weeks. Although you can be lonely, you can help yourself fit in by being friendly. Even if you are nervous, try to smile, say hello and ask questions.
Here are two places where you might meet friends in a new school:
● The classroom: Look around you, is there anyone who you can talk to? Do you take part in group activities in class? If so, try to join a new group every time.
● Playground: Most schools offer many team sports. Try to join these sports.
Some kids worry about their teachers when they start a new school. Even if the teachers are supportive, it can take some time to adjust to new rules or ways of teaching. Try talking to them about your problem. Besides, with a familiar face in the front of your classroom you may feel more comfortable during the first few weeks of school.

On the first day at senior high school, Mr Whitson gave us a class about a creature called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.
When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so was it with everyone else’s in our class. What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn’t wait to get the answer.
Very simple, Mr Whitson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why did none of us notice that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?
Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?
We should have guessed it out, Mr Whitson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the skull (in fact, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and nobody used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.
47. Why did the students fail in the test? _______.
A. Because they asked notes while listening.
B. Because they didn’t listen to the teacher care- fully.
C. Because they didn’t show interest in what Mr Whitson said.
D. Because they didn’t think carefully.
48. The students didn’t find out it was a lie for _______.
A. they simply believed their teacher very much
B. they hadn’t watched the skull carefully enough
C. they took notes carelessly
D. Mr Whitson spoke too fast
49. What did Mr Whitson give the students the special lesson for?
A. Showing his best way of teaching.
B. Playing a joke on the students.
C. Helping the students learn lessons better
D. Making the students no longer believe him.
50. By giving such a lesson, Mr Whitson meant that _______.
A. teachers couldn’t make any mistakes
B. textbooks can’t be wrong sometimes
C. we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrong
D. we shouldn’t believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell lies

Surely, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. But really, there’s one important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do it, “learning bursts (猛然) right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a long time teacher who writes an education column（专栏） called “teacher says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning.
As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to ________________________. Besides, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher know that, and, in most cases, is excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teacher are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they want to be teachers in the first place—to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any case, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.

Is it hard for you to get up early and get ready for classes? Some students at Winter Park High School just roll out of bed in their pajamas and go to class in their own bedrooms. Of course, their teachers and classmates do not see them because all their class-work is on the computer.
The Florida high school, the State’s only on-line school, has 250 students who are taking classes at home by computer.
“I’m a lot more comfortable at home,” says Luke Levesque, a 16-year-old boy who is taking a computer class on-line. He thinks the school’s computer room is so noisy that he can’t study well.“home is much better,” he says.
Students in this first on-line program take classes in algebra(代数)，chemistry，computer，economics，and Web-page design（网页设计）. They also have to go to a regular school to attend other classes.
When a student is ready to begin a class, he or she turns on the computer, reads the teacher’s instructions(指示), and begins working on the lesson for the day. What happens if a student has a question for the teacher? Or the teacher wants to say something about the work a student is doing? The student and the teacher talk to each other every day through e-mail or by telephone. For example, when Luke opened his daily) e-mail from the teacher, it contained her instructions for the day’s computer lesson. When he finished, he e-mailed the work back to her for grading(评分).
Is it easy for students to cheat(作弊) on tests when they’re working at home? The teachers have already thought about this. They make students take their final exams in person(亲身) in the classroom.
If this first online program goes well, in three years Florida high school students will be able to take all their classes by computer. When that happens, students will be able to get their high school diplomas(毕业文凭) without having to set foot in a classroom.
56. Winter Park High School is .
A. the name of one of the on-line schools in Florida
B. the only on- line schools in Florida
C. in fact Luke Levesque’s own bedroom
D. an ordinary Florida high school
57. Luke likes the classes he takes at home because .
A.it is more comfortable to stay at home than at his school
B.his school has no enough computers
C.he can learn what he likes at home
D.he doesn’t need to face his teachers
58. A student can talk to each other and the teacher________.
A. with computer B. with telephone
C. by emailing or telephoning D. only through e-mail
59. Which of the following is true?
A.Some of the students at the high school take part in this first
on-line program
B.Three are only 250 students in the Winter Park High School.
C.All the students at Winter Park High School have their classes in pajamas.
D.The writer believes that the first on-line program will certainly succeed.
60. Which of the following is not true?
A.Sometimes the students have to take their exams in the classroom.
B.The students can learn the same subjects as those in regular school.
C.The students’ homes are quieter than their school’s computer lab.
D.The teachers have already done something to stop students cheating on tests.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport． Two buses travel along their route (路线): the number 49 and number 16． But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it． I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it．
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes． If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting． Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers (乘客) and 20 standing passengers． Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport． I counted the other passengers as they got off． There were 129 of them．
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers． Can nothing be done to make your service (服务) better?
Yours
Tired passenger
61．The writer has to take Bus No． 49 because ．
A．it arrives on time B．it is not always full
C．it travels faster D．it has fewer seats on it
62．How long does the writer usually have to wait for a bus?
A．Ten minutes． B．One hour． C． Half an hour. D．Nearly a day．
63．The regulations say that each bus may carry passengers at most．
A．20 B．40 C．60 D．129
64． From the passage we can see that ．
A．the bus service was poor
B．no passengers took their buses
C．no buses except the No． 49 bus passed Souk Road
D．the writer was always the first to get on the bus
B
Many people in the world live in big cities, which are often dirty and difficult places to live． So, some cities will get bigger． They will also get higher, and lower, because people will begin to live under the ground as well as in tall buildings． Scientists also say that men can begin to live in cities under the sea, when there is not enough space on the land． Of course, these new cities will be very expensive, and difficult to build, but they are not impossible． Already, some countries are building places to live under the ground so their people can go there if there is a new war． There are underground cities in Switzerland（瑞士）and China, built by the government（政府）to help some of the people live during a great war．
But will people change if they live under the ground for a long time？For example some fish go blind if they live in the dark sea for a long time． People will not go blind, because there will be light underground, but they may change in some way． Scientists say that people who live in cities today are losing their senses of smell, touch and taste． They can’t smell the dirty air, they can’t taste the chemicals（化学制剂）in their food． These senses are not as strong as before, when people lived in the country and grew their own food． The city has changed that． What will the underground city change in everyone？
65．People will live under the ground because _________．
A．it’s neither hot nor cold there
B．they’ll be afraid of the war
C．there’ll be less space on the ground
D．they’ll make their life comfortable
66．Some countries try to build some places under the ground so that people will be able to live
there _____．
A．when summer comes
B．when a war breaks out
C．because they think it’ll be safer for them
D．when they’re fed up with the life on the land
67．_________, so people who will live there won’t go blind．
A．There’ll be enough light under the ground
B．It’ll be easy to go upstairs
C．Glasses will be sold under the ground
D．Medicine will be supplied for free
68．People will lose some senses under the ground because _______．
A．the world are polluted
B．it’s dark there
C．the air is dirty and there are a lot of chemicals in their food
D．they can’t grow their own food in the sun
C
People have flown kites in Japan for more than 1,000 years． There are different kinds of kites there． Some look like bats（蝙蝠）；others look like birds． Most have pictures on them． There are many interesting stories about kites in Japan． One story tells about a thief（小偷）who used a kite． He wanted to steal（偷）the gold（金子）from the top of a high tower． The thief and his friends made a large kite． One dark windy night he caught hold of the kite． His friends raised（使升高）it into the air． Then they moved the kite near the top of the tower． The thief was able to steal the gold． Another story tells about a father and a son． They were in trouble on an island near Japan． The father made a large kite． His son flew in it back to Japan．
The young men of Japan have kite matches． When the kites are flying, the match starts． The young men try to break each other’s kite strings（细绳）． The last kite left in the sky is the winner．
69．Most kites in Japan________．
A．are very large B． are very small

In Britain and the USA, most people are careful about time.
If they want to see a friend, they telephone first to make an appointment. A lot of people don't like surprises. They want to know when a visitor is going to arrive.
Have you arranged to meet someone at three o'clock? It is polite to arrive a few minutes early. Of course, everyone is late sometimes. If you are late, just say sorry, and explain what has happened.
Sometimes it is impossible to keep an appointment. But if you don't arrive, the other person will be upset.
Same people usually spend time chatting and drinking tea or coffee before they start business meeting-but not in Britain or the USA. There, they like to talk about business first and chat later-if there is time.

river as the “Turbulent
(动荡的) River", the
Cambodians as "Great
Water",
the Vietnamese as the "Nine Dragons River" and closer to home the Thai and Lao people refer to it as "Mai Nam Kong" - Mother of Waters!The Mekong has a long history of exploration and of both slow and modern boats carrying passengers along it's waters.

The journey will begin at an altiude of more than 5,000 metres, where it is hard to breathe and very cold.6. What do you think about Wang Kun and Wang Wei?
Wang Kun’s character: enthusiastic, critical, sensible
Wang Wei’s character: imaginative, organized, eager, persistent, stubborn, risk-taking.She gave me a determined look-the kind that said that she would not change her mind.This sentence means that she has decided to do something and will not change her ideas.Look at the following sentences from the text and explain them in your own words2... my sister does not care about details.This sentence means that she has decided to do something and will not change her ideas.It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice growsThe sentence means that the Mekong river flows slowly and gently through the valleys and reaches the farming plains.An attitude is what a person thinks about something. Write down Wang Wei’s and Wang Kun’s attitude to the trip. Then add your own opinion.3Positive to the trip. She wants to organise it as it was her idea.Less positive to the trip as he wants to organise it and thinks he can do that better than his sister.It sounds like a wonderful trip and I would love to be able to do a trip like that myself one day.Complete the FormTaking a great bike trip.expensive bikesinterested in travellingan atlas a glacier on a Tibetan mountainquicklydeep valleysChinathe Southeast Asiahills and low valleys and plains the South China SeaWork in pairs. Imagine that you are Wang Kun and Wang Wei. Choose a paragraph from the passage and use the information to help you make up a dialogue.4WW: You know we’ve always wanted to do a long bike trip. Why don’t we go on one after we graduate from college?
WK: That’s a good idea. But where we going?
WW: What about cycling along the Mekong River?
WK: It sounds interesting, but how do you want to plan it?WW: I think we should do it properly. We must find the source of the river and start from there.
WK: Well, the Mekong River begins in Qinghai Province. That means we’re going to be cycling at an altitude of more than 5.000 metres.
WW: Oh, I think that’s exciting, don’t you?WK: Remember that the air will be hard to breathe and it’ll be very cold.
WW: That’s going to make it an interesting experience.
WK: I wish you weren’t so stubborn. You don’t know where it is but you still insist that know better than anyone else. Now I know that the proper way is always your way, but have you looked at a map yet?WW: No, I haven’t. That’s just a detail!
WK: OK. I can see by your determined look that you won’t change your mind.Compare the following sentences with different stresses and explain the meaning.We were both surprised to learn that half the river is in China.
(means we didn’t know this)5We were both surprised to learn that half the river is in China.
(means we thought that maybe more than half was in China)
We were both surprised to learn that half the river is in China.
(means that we didn’t know that half the river is in China)Who do you think was right about the trip? Why? I think Wang Kun is right, because if it is too cold and too high, the trip will be hard. People will have some difficulty in breathing at a high altitude. Wherever we go we need an atlas so that we will not lose our way.What’s the main idea of the text?The passage tells us a main idea that no success in life merely happens by describing my sister’s and my dream---taking a bike trip and preparations for the trip.In groups of four, summarize the main idea of the passage and tell why.Discussion:(Students can have their own opinions.)Text retelling:dream about – bike trip – graduation – college – chance – come true – think of the idea – cycle along the Mekong River -- buy expensive bike – get cousins interested –Wang Wei – stick to the idea – source -- begin their journey – Qinghai Province – not change her mind– excited – altitude – 5000 meters –before the trip -- atlas – library -- know clearly aboutHomeworkTry to retell the reading in the third person.
